What part of this don't you understand? Aside from all of it?

Blame IANA. They sanctioned it as part of the testbed for Draft Postel. 
Blame CORE, as they sanctioned it for the (failed) CORE registry testbed 
(the CORE root no longer exists).

Ah yes, forcing the alt.roots to use non-routable IP addresses is a most 
noble task. It's identical to forcing Aborigines (or Native Americans) into 
reservations, while stripping them of their land. Something you'll be able 
to proudly boast about to your grandchildren.
